Mini Normal 2276: Around the World - Game Over!

[Gamma Emerald]

How does a hood correlate with an ascetic miller claim?

[JohnnyFarrar]

VOTE: Roden

Marci's town.

Roden needs more votes.

I'm seeing some BTS solving here. There's a pretty good chance you're town.

Why do you think Marci is town?

I legit don't understand this post? Like I don't follow at all

[Alexcellent]

There's a neighborhood in this game

Me
Shoshin
Roden
InsidiousLemons

Soshin might just be too chaotic for me

Is there something going on in the hood with Shoshin? i.e. anything said there that gives you much of a read?

[JohnnyFarrar]

suspicious of roden because the early townread of shoshin for "solving behind the scenes" seems (1) kinda awkwardly explained, (2) seems like tmi? like, i'm a bit skeptical that he saw two basically naked votes and decided there's some townie solving happening there

I take back that townread dats

[JohnnyFarrar]

Does this mean that you think that I'm scum with Marci? Or that I'm scum and shading town!Marci? (I think the answer is obvious but I kind of want to hear it all the same)

Hi I hate this

[JohnnyFarrar]

Alex is very scummy.

Good someone agrees

[JohnnyFarrar]

Upon further consideration, I've decided Alex is town.

Ope nvm

[JohnnyFarrar]

Johnny popping in to say "I exist" and then immediately top townreading the one person to reply to him with zero reasoning as his only two posts is a concerning opener. This has gone so under the radar no one has even talked about it yet. I'd like to hear why that townread was given out when he posts next.

It was jokes I hadn't read but like 2 posts

[JohnnyFarrar]

Before I fall asleep -

Aussie has a fun laid back vibe that I think scum would be hard pressed to fake, won't vote there today.

Crescent I wanted to push for the lim today, but the more I read the more they came off as just the opposite kind of player to me, which often rubs me the wrong way. Would absolutely still vote there tho, there's at least one part of 209 I don't like.

I like the end of 215 from scamper, but I also think scamper makes a lot of absolute statements about what scum do and don't do and that kind of FACTS and LOGIC approach is real easy for scum to hide behind. Still unwilling to vote there today.

I'm about 100 posts behind and feel asleep typing this so everyone else gets a free pass till tomorrow

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Corwinoid replaces InsidiousLemons

[Corwinoid]

Hi Alex, hi Bella.

Bella 100% town because she's always town.

I'm caught up on the game but I don't have a lot to add right now, I've stayed up late to get the replacement sorted and I'm going to bed.

Hard town reading Crescent this game though.

[Alexcellent]

Yo Corwin! Are you town?

[Alexcellent]

hood reveal is interesting, i dont have a problem with std outing it since theres probably scum in a 4 person hood but i kind of wish he'd waited a bit longer so that we could have reads from people on the players in the hood + lemons could have posted

cuz right now my immediate thought is the lemons slot is probably scum but we learn basically nothing from it now if thats true

What makes you think that?

[Alexcellent]

VOTE: Bellaphant

Actually I feel like getting onboard with this

VOTE: Bellaphant

[Ausuka]

I like Aussie as a nickname except it kinda makes me sound like I'm Australian

See multiple people have said it's a playstyle read now and I don't get it.

I think his playstyle is even sort of towny - he comes off as naturally comfortable and somewhat charismatic to me.

I think the content of his posts is more scum motivated than town motivated for reasons I've tried to explain. I think he is more orientated towards creating whatever content than sorting people.

Who is this about?

It's about alex

[Ausuka]

I feel like one of shishon/crescent is scum but not entirely sure which

Why would you think there has to be one scum here?

I feel like your feud with Crescent has neither of you looking good but it doesn’t seem like theater

Honestly I felt the opposite, they both feel like town here

This seems like a pretty convenient position for scum Gamma to take

[Ausuka]

I claimed because I want to see what happens and I'd bet there's scum in the hood

I would object but tbh I think the NRG are plain enough to think consistently placing scum in hoods is a good idea

I think it's a bad idea to speculate about scum in the hood. This setup is clearly WIFOM heavy and I don't see how any accurate conclusions can be drawn, seems better to just ignore it.

I really do think the setup could have a four player town hood just to fuck with the players

Like I'm not saying that's what's happening but I think it's not good to let the hood shape reads too much in a troll setup

[Ausuka]

I guess Bella's posts aren't terribly hard for scum to fake but like I don't think I'd expect her to be massively different as town and I vibed with some of her early posts

STD feels like a scummier version of Bella tbh

Johnny's catch up is lightly towny because the push on Dats seems counterintuitive for scum to make and I like it, still want to see more from him tho

[Alexcellent]

Setting up the hood would be RNG, no? I haven't actually played in a game with a neighbourhood before (excluding a couple of Won't You Be My Neighbour games years ago). The neighbours would be all randomised surely?

[Ausuka]

No, the neighbours aren't random in normals, it's designed in setup review. Although I think treating them as random might be a good thing.

[Alexcellent]

Oh really? Didn't know that, interesting.

johnny is pushing me?

I mean push might be a slight exaggeration but this is something along those lines I think. It seems like he's calling your Roden read fake.

@gamma, it'snot about them being the same/anything to do with each other, more the vibe of the game. I think this from aus' explains what I was meaning - I feel this game is going to be weird.

Hi corwin! Are you town now?

@scamper and Alex, can you come chat to me? Ask me some questions or something
